The movie is beautiful and well acted/well made, but I thought the central love story fell flat, which kind of ruined the plot overall. I didn't find either character particularly sympathetic, either. Juliette Binoche's subplot was…

North Africa in the 1930s. Impending war, espionage, romance and betrayal. This movie is a classic. Brilliantly acted and heartbreakingly romantic.
How do people cope with devastating and senseless loss?
I loved this movie.
If you like people who spend their evenings recounting scenes from Herodotus (had to look him up) .And flutter lines like - "the stars are so messy, I was trying to rearrange them" then this is the movie for you. The title character is a…

Amazing love story. The book is more thrilling and entertaining, I guess.

Absolutely boring and a waste of time. I will give the movie credit for the filmography. Considering that the movie was filmed in 1996, the movie holds up well to high definition t.v. where it relates to the special effects. I was left…
Awful. Had absolutely no sympathy for either of the self indulgent leads and the story itself was minimally interesting. What a waste and to think it beat out Fargo as best picture.What a joke.

This is an overall engaging movie with a good performance from Ralph Fiennes as the title character. In addition there is a good score from Gabriel Yared.
